Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Moving to UK - what are Oracle contracts like?
Yes,
There aren't many positions cropping up! Check www.jobserve.co.uk
I now have a permanent job after my contract was not renewed last month. I didn't consider it a preference but under the circumstances it's a whole lot better than nothing.
Best wishes to those contracting and good luck to anyone in-between jobs.
Good Luck Fuzzy!

Having looked into it and spoken to some agencies it appears the same as pretty much everywhere else - quiet.
